Athletes Prepare for 2026 Winter Olympics
The Stifel Copper Cup is an international alpine ski event that is held at Copper Mountain. This marks a huge milestone for Copper Mountain, also known as the, “Athlete’s Mountain”, because it will be the first time Copper Mountain has been the primary venue for an alpine World Cup Event. It will serve as the first domestic stop for the men’s World Cup season and the only women’s World Cup stop in the U.S. for the 2025-26 season. The event is free to attend in terms of general access to the races however, for grandstand seating or VIP access, you’ll want to plan ahead.
